The subject of this unreferenced BLP is notable solely for his work as personal assistant to John Lennon and resulting book and legal entanglements. Thus his notability is just for that one "event," and the sum and substance of this biography is to disparage the subject. I feel that this article fails WP:1E and further warrants deletion because of its general purpose to disparage Seaman. Article should be deleted or merged into John Lennon or Yoko Ono.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Keep - A public figure by virtue of the lawsuit and a person of interest to Beatles fans, I reckon. Very borderline, but I think just leaving this alone rather that some sort of forced merger is the right way to deal with this material. Carrite (talk) 20:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Certainly he is "of interest", but the Wikipedia notability guidelines have nothing to do with whether the subject is of interest. I agree with ScottyBerg: this is covered by WP:1E. Elton Bunny (talk) 16:09, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

 * The event itself, the lawsuit, is significant, and raises many questions about copyright and first amendment rights. This information is not part of the John Lennon page and should be available somewhere. Also, Seaman's book, though controversial, is a valuable document that contains information not found elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.17.60 (talk) 13:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
